Question Time

Why should someone vote for you (in 140 characters or fewer)?

I stand for transparency, accountability & for the constituents. A real alternative in left politics.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

I am under the employment of my constituents, I will work for them and with them. People power is key. To help bring back rural Kerry from the brink.

What one thing would you like to do in your first 100 days of the new Dáil if you are elected?

I will look to have a Bill passed that will support the postmasters in their struggle to keep their doors open. We cannot afford to lose our post offices.
